Abstract
Psychological impairment among injury survivors is well documented. Little is known about the prevalence of treatment of psychological impairment, however. We aimed to determine the proportion of injury survivors treated for depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the year after injury as well as to determine potential barriers to treatment. Adults (18 and older) admitted to a Level I trauma center with an injury severity score greater than 10 but without traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury were eligible for study inclusion. The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression and PTSD CheckList-Civilian Versions surveys were administered during the initial hospitalization and repeated at 1, 2, 4, and 12 months after injury. Patients were asked if they received treatment specifically for depression or PTSD at each follow-up. Factors associated with treatment were determined using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Five hundred injury survivors were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Of those, 68.4% of patients screened positive for depression at some point in the year after their injury (53.3%, 1 month; 49.9%, 2 months; 49.0%, 4 months; and 50.2%, 12 months). Only 22.2% of depressed ...Continue Reading
